Just realised you’re not in the UK you’re in Australia so ignore my comments about NICE. Sorry.

Thanks, Poo 🙂

I went through and read a couple of threads on sufasalazine, and your positive experience (before the unfortunate interaction!) was comforting. Your comment about the need to jump hoops to get your medication makes me feel very fortunate for where I live. Our healthcare system is far from perfect (I can’t afford dental so I just don’t go), but it’s pretty good.

I start on the sulfasalazine tomorrow. Here’s hoping!
